c# or vb.net ?
i find it hard to go together with both languages , c# hasn't been my strong side , i prefer vb .
most of the project i undertook was c# asp.net .
i know that both c# and vb have same concepts and features ,but from
career point of view which is more beneficial .

Re: c# or vb.net ?
If I was to hazard a guess I'd say that the career prospects in C# are marginally better but not by much. The languages are awefully similar, though, so you'll be able to switch later easily enough. I wouldn't agonise too much over the decision. If you're more comfortable with VB then go with it. Later you might want to revisit some of your projects and translate them to C# just to prove to yourself that you can.

Hmm that depends where you live i think. In the North West (UK) there are definitely more C# jobs and they pay more.
Also most .Net Web development jobs want C# over VB.Net so you may want to consider that.
Have you had a look at the job boards where you live?

Re: c# or vb.net ?
It depends on where you are, and how hard you look. I should know. I've built a career on VB for the last 20+ years. But, I've also had to move to stay with it too. But they are out there. If you need to, work with a recruiter or a consulting firm.

Re: c# or vb.net ?
As already mentioned by others, it depends on the area you are looking for work. Five years ago it was VB.NET and now the shift is to C# followed by C# and VB.NET together so to manage solutions that were created in VB but staff has migrated to C# and left apps to sunset that were created in VB. In today's world it's best to learn both languages. Also consider looking at other areas if you can not find a job with the language of choice which is what I did, moved 3,500 miles across country way before VB was around. What was interested in my case, across the country Nantucket Clipper was in high demand while in my area zilch demand.

Re: c# or vb.net ?
For a professional career, its C# hands down. It may be a bit more of a learning curve but the majority of jobs for the past 5 years have been dominated by C#. Plus once you know it and a job needs some VB, thats easy to change to vs the other way around. VB is sadly on the decline

FunkyDexter, I reckon that is why I reckon Microsoft made the languages interchangeable in the new versions of Visual Studios.

Once you've got the hand of it, yes, very easily. It's really just a case of changing how you declare variables and functions and weeding out some semi colons and curly brackets.

I agree. They want to hammer home the point that they're basically the same language.

And with the parity between them getting closer and closer Microsoft hit the nail on the head

Re: c# or vb.net ?
Given that the idea behind the .NET platform is interoperability between the languages (AKA, you're not tied to one language), if you are finding development easier in C#, and the rest of the team agrees, I would say work on the other components in C#. But, overall, VB.NET and C# can accomplish the same tasks. One thing to think about - is the reason the C# work going faster/easier because you understand it? If the rest of the team doesn't understand C#, but knows VB.NET, that will most likely take precedence.
